Key Market Drivers
A surge in the usage of lithium-ion batteries by the renewable energy industry
Lithium-ion batteries outperform lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and nickel-metal hydride batteries in terms of electrochemical performance. These batteries have a long life and provide increased power, efficiency, and low self-discharge. They are primarily used in energy storage systems that store energy generated by renewable sources such as solar and wind. Various market participants are working to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries, making them an appealing option for stationary energy storage applications. The service life of these systems is determined by the cells or batteries embedded in the battery energy storage systems. Some of the companies that provide lithium-ion batteries and install them in their battery energy storage systems are LG Chem (South Korea), Panasonic (Japan), and Samsung SDI (South Korea).
Lithium-ion energy storage systems allow higher energy storage, facilitating the integration of low-cost wind and solar energy into grids. As a result, carbon dioxide emissions are reduced, and overall power costs are reduced. According to a 2017 report titled "Energy Storage Trends and Opportunities in Emerging Markets" published by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the World Bank Group's Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), the use of lithium-ion technology in utilities allows for 90% battery efficiency. In public utility applications, the use of advanced lead-acid batteries and flow batteries results in efficiencies of 80% and 70%, respectively. The adoption of lithium-ion batteries in the renewable energy sector is increasing demand for industrial batteries. The market demand is expected to boost during the forecast period owing to the aforementioned reasons.
Increase in healthcare savings by the use of sterilization pouches - The growing electrification of most industrial, commercial, and household works is driving market growth. The rapid expansion of the telecommunications sector is increasing demand for backup batteries with large storage capacities. Industrial batteries are the primary source of power for a few applications such as automated machinery, robots, and light vehicles, propelling market growth. The implementation of government regulations concerning carbon emissions is expected to increase demand for lithium-ion batteries, thereby increasing demand for the industrial batteries market. The demand for continuous electrical energy is increasing as people's reliance on electronic devices grows. Furthermore, emerging economies prefer electrification, and increasing urbanization has a significant impact on global market demand. Uncertainty in the costs and the availability of raw materials such as cobalt, lithium, and lead has aided market growth.
Key market challenges
Presence of Substitutes - Industrial batteries, such as lead-acid batteries, were previously the most cost-effective technology. However, as alternative battery technologies proliferate, lead-acid batteries are losing ground in terms of cost-effectiveness. Alternative battery storage technologies, such as supercapacitors, fuel cell, and flywheels powered by UPS, are replacing rechargeable batteries. Flywheels and fuel cells have begun to be used for power requirements in both mobile and stationary applications. Furthermore, supercapacitor advancements have made them suitable for energy storage applications in the automotive sector, which are expected to grow further. These developments act as market restraints for industrial batteries. Furthermore, the high price of lithium-ion batteries or lithium-ion may hamper the market growth.
Use of toxic chemicals - Toxic organic chemicals are used in the manufacture of industrial batteries. Most countries have strict regulations in place regarding such chemicals, which limits the growth of the industrial battery market. This factor is posing a challenge to the industrial batteries market. For instance, lead-acid batteries contain lead, which is a toxic heavy metal that can cause damage to the nervous system, kidneys, and other organs if ingested or inhaled. Nickel-cadmium batteries contain cadmium, which is a known carcinogen that can cause lung cancer and other health problems. Lithium-ion batteries contain various organic solvents, such as ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate, which can be toxic and flammable.
